Pain Society Poems - Poems about Pain Society

Amidst the pressure
Pressure in a crowded mind A test where rest is hard to find The guilt that comes with procrastination , Leads me to kill my imagination . “Be the best”, they say. But do they know The pain I suffer each day I grow They see the grades, the smiles , the light But do they see the fright I...

His tie knotted tight at the collar pinches the neck, he’d love to holler Her corset pulled tighter than a drum she’d like to scream, but can only hum ...

Look Alive --as you're dying inside--
I’ve no one to talk to and it’s bringing me down Can’t be myself so I try on someone else But the outfit never seems to fit Too tight Too suffocating And I can’t breathe Makes my waist look small and my chest look big It's what everyone else wears And I'm told to fit in I hate it but- no one cares We look...

Do Miracles Still Exist
Don't ask anything that's so improbable... if your faith is lacking a strong foundation, if it has doubt in folks who had a conviction: didn't they fight to accomplish the impossible? My question is, " Do miracles exist? " Whenever I turn to, I sense disbelief in all; who is ill and abandoned by a pitiless society asks the same question of...

A Lil' Nip
Son, don't stand there with that cold stare and judge me When I twist the cap and pour a glass and tilt my head gently Just know that I'm in search of a little relief and peace of mind Unfortunately, this world is a place where peace is sometimes hard to find No excuses! But life has a peculiar...

Flying Monkeys
How banal is heartbreak yet the masses belly up to the bar to imbibe the bitter brew by the gallon fermented from the pounds of flesh she's cut away with her pen that she keeps preserved in jars of formaldehyde Drunk with disdain her potion resurrecting their pain her patrons grab the pitchforks she keeps sharpened by the door Silent she watches them stumble...

The Shot
There is no possible way to tell anyone who is reading this, How much pain and suffering I have endured over the past three months with this. Two or three days and you should be fine and well, It's been 3 months my body feels like me and the devil was fighting in hell. Oh...

He stumbles toward the neon light, shoulders hunched, face out of sight. It's not respect he seeks, but space to rest awhile, just need a place. "But don't get Jeeter's place, he's mean, and Mary Sue ain't all that keen." There's hieararachy out on the streets, abandonment in all he meets. His life is played from score to score; it doesn't goad him anymore. He...

Brain On Fire
My Brain is on Fire My Thoughts are blacken and cracked My Soul is trapped in a mire My Body feels racked I am forever changed Am I forever lost? I am forever deranged Am I knowing the true cost? Oh God, what is the plan Why could I have not been hit harder? Oh God, I do...

Hardships of the Women
Likewise, he will not discredit her in the festivals It was just a matter of breaking my heart, so all the common people will not do anything Oh God, what a strange world of eunuchs you have created, The woman who gave birth, man caste has raised her finger on her character.

Thought Stream
She has no face in the world, Not even a mask to cover this Scarlet letter riding her back-- How do you erase that sign But by hiding in the corners Of your mind, Blind, deaf and dumb, Climbing among the numb dead Folks, who have no clout, No doubts that they're fodder For the massive heart attack Society blends in pots Of despair, dread and broken...

The Fires
The fires that starts in the mountain slopes is a darkness of heat that floats your boat. The USA has seen many of these and the dramatic burns that fry’s the trees. The smoky air pollutes the sky as the fire fighters fight with their precious lives. It’s a dark Day here in America that...

Utopia
I dreamt that we were really free Like the soaring birds in the air We were standing under the mango tree And finally the world was fair I dreamt that we freely showed our love We touched and kissed in the gardens The birds peacefully sang from above And we didn't share the world's burdens I only wish dreams came true We'd have a...
